Klein, R. - Presenter, ZMK Technologies GmbH

The
company ZMK Technologies GmbH from Germany would like to present a paper at
your ethylene producers’ conference in San Antonio.

The purpose of the paper is to show the
audience the latest technology and further development of the well known double
disc type main transfer line and decoke line valves for steam cracker/ethylene
producing plants.

All developments basically ensure that
the maintenance as well as downtime of the special valves for main transfer
line and decoke line application can be reduced quite drastically.

Attached please find a brief indication
of what has been improved during the last two years on such special equipment.

To fulfil you general expectations we
are currently in touch with ExxonMobil, BP as well as LyondellBasell to involve
a manufacturing company as co-author.
